Spin transfer torques allow for electrical manipulation of magnetization at room temperature, which is utilized to build future electronic devices such as spin transfer torque memories. Recent experiments have discovered that the combination of the spin transfer torque with the spin Hall effect enables more efficient manipulation. A versatile control mechanism of such spin-orbit torques is beneficial to envision device applications with competitive advantages over the existing schemes. Here we report that the oxidation manipulation of spin-orbit torque devices triggers a new mechanism, and the resulting torques are estimated to be about two times stronger than that of the spin Hall effect. Our result introduces an entirely new way to engineer the spin-orbit torques for device operation via oxygen manipulation. Combined with electrical gating for the control of the oxygen content, our finding may also pave the way for towards reconfigurable logic devices.
Spin transfer torques allow the electrical manipulation of the magnetization at room temperature, which is desirable in spintronic devices such as spin transfer torque memories. When combined with spin-orbit coupling, they give rise to spin-orbit tor
Spin-orbit torques due to interfacial Rashba and spin Hall effects have been widely considered as a potentially more efficient approach than the conventional spin-transfer torque to control the magnetization of ferromagnets. We report a comprehensive
The magnitude of spin-orbit torque (SOT), exerted to a ferromagnet (FM) from an adjacent heavy metal (HM), strongly depends on the amount of spin currents absorbed in the FM. We exploit the large spin absorption at the Ru interface to manipulate the
The spin-orbit torque induced by a topological insulator (TI) is theoretically examined for spin wave generation in a neighboring antiferromagnetic thin film. The investigation is based on the micromagnetic simulation of N{e}el vector dynamics and th
Spin-orbit torques (SOT) allow the electrical control of magnetic states. Current-induced SOT switching of the perpendicular magnetization is of particular technological importance. The SOT consists of damping-like and field-like torques so that the
